What is this subreddit for?
It was inspired by podcaster Dan Carlin as a non-partisan space to facilitate "brainstorming" ideas on how best to implement reform ideas that aim to fight the corruption in the US Political System.

Here is a post by Dan that goes some way toward explaining it:

"Hi everyone reading this. My name is Dan Carlin (www.dancarlin.com) I do a couple of podcasts and my audience and I are trying to find ways to spark debate and conversation over how we achieve reform of the "pay-for-play" U.S. political system.

The biggest problem seems to not be the actual ideas for reform, but how we ever get them enacted (seeing as how the people that would need to enact them are the very representatives benefiting from the way the system currently is). I call this getting "From A to C". Hopefully the use of reddit and tying into the brainpower here can help move some reform ideas along. It's not a Left or Right thing...or a Dem Repub thing...very few people from any political stripe WANT a corrupt system. But what is to be done? And more important, in a representative system (which legislates through "Middlemen" right?) how do we get it past the gatekeepers who would certainly fare less well if we did?" - as posted by Dan.
